KOH KONG, Cambodia — The recent discovery of 60 Siamese crocodile hatchlings in the southwest of Cambodia has sparked hope among conservationists, with the five successful nests highlighting the resilience of the critically endangered species in the wild.

Deep within the remote Cardamom Mountains, 60 eggs were found to have successfully hatched — a discovery that Pablo Sinovas, Fauna & Flora Cambodia’s country director, called “the largest number of wild Siamese crocodile hatchlings recorded in Cambodia this century.”
